Separation of Powers lesson needed

This stopgap measure discussion has revealed a surprising fact.  Mitch McConnell doesn't understand the separation of powers, the co-equal branches of government.

How do I know?  He said on camera he wants to know what Trump will support before he puts a bill up for a vote.  He doesn't want the Senate to "spin its wheels".

MITCH!  Pass the bill that the Senate wants to enact; if the President doesn't sign it, vetoes it, then OVERRIDE his veto. 

That's how it was designed by the founders of our country.  Being deferential to any president, especially this guy, undermines the co-equal role of the Senate and the Article I branch.

One more example of our well-designed system of government being ground to dust by operator error.
